Which feature in Informatica Cloud is used to run tasks sequentially in a specified order?

Task Flows in Informatica Cloud are designed specifically to orchestrate and manage the execution of multiple tasks in a defined sequence. This feature allows users to create a flow of tasks that are dependent on one another, meaning that the output of one task can serve as input for the next, or the execution of a subsequent task might hinge on the successful completion of a prior task. This capability is crucial for managing complex data integration scenarios where tasks need to be executed in a specific order to ensure the integrity and quality of the data being processed.

Utilizing Task Flows enhances operational efficiency by allowing for conditional logic, error handling, and parallel processing where applicable, all orchestrated in a seamless manner according to the defined sequence. This structured approach not only simplifies the organization of tasks but also gives developers greater control over the data integration process.

Other features, such as Work Flows, may reference combinations of processes but lack the specific functionality for sequencing tasks. Connections are primarily about establishing links to data sources and targets, while Dataflows focus more on the data transformations and movements themselves rather than their execution ordering. Therefore, Task Flows are the correct choice for running tasks sequentially in a specified order.
